I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Man, I ain't got time 4 that girl
Say what?
Yeah, she always want to talk to somebody
Believe me, I know her
Yeah
I see you at another party
Dancin' all over the place
Lookin' 4 the perfect body
To go with the perfect face
Bushy head mulatto breakdown
And your lips got wet today (Lips got wet today)
Same damn bird from London (Same damn cuckoo)
Finally had the nerve to say
(What'd she say? I'll tell ya see listen)
CHORUS:
I used to have mad sex in the horny morning
I used to have mad sex in the afternoon
I used to have mad sex when me and this mulatto go down
To dirty up another room
Do it till your tattoo's dizzy
And the stud in your mouth turns gold
'Till the animal prints you flaunt so lovely
Is full of little bloody holes
Bushy head mulatto breakdown
And your lips got wet today
The same damn bird from London
Uh, finally had the nerve to say (What'd she say?)
CHORUS
Mad sex
Mad sex
Steppin' up on the others tryin' to make a jealous brotha
Get you nothin' but another night of vibration
One nation under your groove and still you can't break my cool
I see you at another party
Once again the talk of the town
Break another heart, you sorry... skench!
One day you're gonna tumble down, down, down, down
(Tumble down, down, down)
Bushy head mulatto breakup
And you never really knew my name (What good is time)
What good is time if you take up (What good is time if you take up)
Every day to complain? (Oh)
CHORUS {x2}
Dirty up another, dirty up another, dirty up another room
(Mad sex)
Oh yeah, Oh Yeah
Oh yeah, Oh Yeah
(Mad sex)
I used to have mad sex
I used to have mad sex
I used to have mad sex
(Mad sex)
To dirty up another room (Dirty, dirty, dirty)
Mad sex
Mad sex
Dirty, dirty
Mad sex
Mad sex
Say what?
Yeah, she always want to talk to somebody
Believe me, I know her
Yeah
I see you at another party
Dancin' all over the place
Lookin' 4 the perfect body
To go with the perfect face
Bushy head mulatto breakdown
And your lips got wet today (Lips got wet today)
Same damn bird from London (Same damn cuckoo)
Finally had the nerve to say
(What'd she say? I'll tell ya see listen)
CHORUS:
I used to have mad sex in the horny morning
I used to have mad sex in the afternoon
I used to have mad sex when me and this mulatto go down
To dirty up another room
Do it till your tattoo's dizzy
And the stud in your mouth turns gold
'Till the animal prints you flaunt so lovely
Is full of little bloody holes
Bushy head mulatto breakdown

I used to have mad sex
(Mad sex)
To dirty up another room (Dirty, dirty, dirty)
Mad sex
Mad sex
Dirty, dirty

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
